    Oh, hi! It's me, the Groks Science Show from WHPK at UChicago, with your host, Becca Satterwhite! Episode 23 is the first episode I recorded in 2020, lo those many months ago.

    From January 30, 2020, we chat with Chicagoan and co-host extraordinaire, Kristen Vosberg! We play Fake Stork/Real Stork -- including a remarkable note about 1890's German sea captain Hugo Storm--, talk power jams and other study strategies, plus the incredible co-evolutionary story of fig wasps, and how to use reverse psychology to keep kids away from junk food.

    It's your old pal, the Groks Science Show from WHPK at UChicago, with your host, Becca Satterwhite! I recorded Episode 22 oh so many nights ago, on December 5, 2019, with my friend and fellow science PhD candidate, Olivia Gray! We laugh while talking about all kinds of science, from wasps that mate seemingly for no reason, to the microbes that live inside of flowers, and the cancer-causing potential of very hot beverages.
